I've been working on perfecting this recipe for some time. I really love to make tabouleh because it is so refreshing and versatile. On the side with the BBQ, on my sandwhich the next day or just the perfect lunch with some Lebanese bread. Please enjoy.

Tips from the author

Amoroso tomatoes are my favourite tomatoes because they are small sweet and always tasty.
